==Overview==
The Hell Talon is another product of the [[Daemonic]] [[Forge World]] of [[Xana II]], which is located within the [[Eye of Terror]] and provides infernal machines to Chaos warbands. It has been increasingly seen amongst the forces of Chaos over the last millennium.{{Fn|1a}} The Hell Talon is equipped with vector-thrusts engines, allowing it to move upwards or to the side in a non-conventional way.{{Fn|4b}}
Used in both aerial and space battles, the Hell Talon has a sleek form resembling an elongated double-axe head. Vectored engines allow for superior maneuverability. Superior in combat to almost any Imperial airship of any class. Its armament consists of twin-linked [[lascannon]]s, either an [[autocannon]] or [[Havoc Launcher]]s, and [[incendiary bomb]]s{{Fn|1a}} or fuel-air explosives.{{Fn|1a4a}}
A Hell Talon is sometimes [[daemonically]] possessed; in other cases they are piloted by a [[servitor]] hard-wired into the cockpit. Besides the pilot, the Hell Talon has two other servitor crew. This allows for an aircraft with maneuvering capability far beyond what a human pilot can withstand.{{Fn|1a}}
